Scouts Canada has identified these nine core Outdoor Adventure Skills;  Camping, Trail, Scoutcraft, Emergency Aid, Paddling, Winter Skills, Vertical Skills, Sailing, and Aquatics. 

​

Each of these Skillsets offer 9 levels of learning which we progress through during regular activites.  When a  Cub Scout earns the next level of their particular Skill they are issued a new Badge indicating the progression which will replace the previous badge on their Uniform.
